Published Mon, 17 Feb 2025 22:07:54 GMT

(CNN) — Former President Donald Trump is planning to skip the first Republican presidential debate on Wednesday and is instead expected to sit for an interview with former Fox News Host Tucker Carlson, multiple sources familiar with his plans tell CNN.Over the last 24 hours, Trump has increasingly been informing those close to him that he has made his decision, and will not be on the debate stage next week.The timing for the Carlson interview has yet to be determined, the sources said, but it is expected to air around the same time as the debate. The New York Times first reported the details of the Carlson interview.CNN previously reported that Trump was not expected to participate in the debate and that his campaign had engaged in conversations with Carlson about a potential interview as counterprogramming for the event.Trump’s advisers continue to add the caveat, however, that the former president could ultimately change his mind and decide at the 11th hou...

Dan Rodricks: A cosmic night of Orioles baseball, a sideshow at Camden Yards and six more very random items | STAFF COMMENTARY

Published Mon, 17 Feb 2025 22:07:54 GMT

Cosmic baseball: We are approaching the 40th anniversary of a legendary Orioles game at Memorial Stadium: The night relief pitcher Tippy Martinez picked off three runners at first base in the same inning. Longtime Baltimoreans know well the story and have told it to their offspring: On Aug. 24, 1983, in a game against Toronto that went to extra innings, manager Joe Altobelli had to call on utility infielder Lenn Sakata to catch. Sakata had not crouched behind home plate with mask and mitt since Little League. So, Toronto runners figured they could take big leads off first base and easily steal second. That didn’t happen as, one by one, Martinez snapped throws to first baseman Eddie Murray that resulted in all three outs. To top it off, the home team prevailed in extra innings, 7-4, with Sakata, the unlikeliest of heroes, hitting a three-run, game-winning homer. It was cosmic, a grand night on 33rd Street, and by now 1.6 million Baltimore baseball fans have claimed they were th...

‘Blue Beetle’ review: A reluctant superhero in a better-than-average DC Comics movie

Published Mon, 17 Feb 2025 22:07:54 GMT

Michael Phillips | (TNS) Chicago Tribune“Blue Beetle” works, basically, and that puts it ahead of the game for most DC Comics-derived movies. Its scale is more human than corporate. And it’s really nice to get out of Gotham and visit a new fictional urban center: Palmera City, imagined here as Miami with a hint of “Blade Runner,” if “Blade Runner” enjoyed a little sunshine.The Blue Beetle character has been around since before World War II, in comics, as a radio serial, on TV and in different iterations. This is the first feature film on the subject, about the teenager Jaime Reyes — just graduated from Gotham U, prelaw, dim prospects — who gets a face-full and then a full-body invasion of alien biotechnology. This transforms him into the Blue Beetle, which means he becomes the target of the nefarious Kord Industries, the company developing an army of weaponized humanoid “security forces,” aka Robocops but worse.That part of “Blue Beetle” may be narratively necessary, but I do not ca...
